Birria tacos on menus - old dish becoming new fad?

Fad if only offering beef birria.

Legit if offering goat birria.

Fad or not, I love them. Had them from Paco Taco and Mawi in Metairie last week.
Damn good.

I wasn't aware of them until a couple of years ago. Then I started noticing them on the menu at some of the legit hole in the wall Mexican places around here in Georgia.

Tofirria?

It's becoming more and more common in Atlanta, but it's an old, traditional dish in Mexico. It's not that hard to make. Most of the effort goes into making the salsa that you use to marinate the roast and then cook it in.

This, I'm not the most exploring eater but I've had this in Mexico several times over the years, and with a few friends at family events. I was told it was a dish traditionally made for big family gatherings since easy to make in bulk.

Fad and even Trader Joe’s has entered the game. They sell frozen birria taco meat in the sauce for$7.99. Easy to make, but cooking the tortillas in the juice can get messy. Add some cilantro, onions and cortija cheese. Quite good even though the positions are somewhat small.

I don't dip the tortillas in the consomme before I cook the tortillas, it's messy enough after all.
